Working on a group documentary has been a tremendous learning process. Early on in our project my group mates and I thought it would be an interesting idea to juxtapose the viewpoints of students at Lafayette and Lehigh’s viewpoints on the internet with voices around Allentown. Reggie and I shot 3 student interviews that did not make our final cut. At first it was frustrating to know that the time we spent recording and preparing for these interviews would not translate into our end product. As our project came together however my frustrations crept away. We decided that we didn’t want to take screen time away from our two highly captivating anchor interviews. Nonetheless I am happy at the opportunity to have learned through conducting these student interviews, and I am glad about the way our final product ended up.
